Advantages
Of Surfing With The Alexa Ranking Toolbar Installed On Your Browser
Copyright

It
is easy to install the Alexa ranking toolbar onto your browser to use
for surfing the Internet. There are over 10 million surfers who use
this toolbar, and it comes in 2 versions. One version is for Internet
Explorer and the other (known as “Sparky”) is for
Firefox.
The
question is, why would you bother to download and install this ranking
toolbar?
The
main reason is that there are many handy features which will convert
your browser into a more versatile data gathering tool. Your benefits
will immediately become apparent as your searches will “zero
in” on the best quality sites.
The
following are some more great benefits that you will receive after
installing the Alexa ranking toolbar to your browser.
Your
surfing online will be faster with the Alexa ranking toolbar because a
Google search feature is incorporated right into the toolbar. This
means that you can type your search query right into the toolbar
without having to call up Google.com separately.
Every
time you land on any website, the Alexa rank of that site will show on
your browser’s right hand corner.
Next
to this traffic rank, a trend line chart will show the
website’s traffic volume over the past several months. Next
to the chart is an “Internet Reach” meter. This
meter shows the percentage of online surfers who have landed on this
website.
Additionally,
you can view sites which have similarities to the sites you have been
checking out by clicking on the “related links”
button. A drop down menu will
appear with a listing of several related sites. This tool is excellent
for doing research on a grouping of similar websites.
There
is also a function called the “Wayback Machine”
which allows you to travel back in time. By using this tool, you can go
back and observe the changes that have occurred in a particular website
over the course of time.
Here
is a really cool feature of the Alexa ranking toolbar: if you are on a
website that you particularly like, you can let your friends know about
it by a simple button click which allows you to email the website to
whoever you choose.
Amazon.com owns the Alexa
ranking toolbar. For this reason, your online shopping will be
extremely convenient as the toolbar has a built in link to Amazon.com.

of success,
